Marvel superhero action directed and co-written by Ryan Coogler. Black Panther follows T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) who, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, King T’Chaka (John Kani), returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king. However, T’Challa soon finds that he is challenged for the throne from factions within his own country. When two foes, Ulysses Klaue (Andy Serkis) and Erik Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) conspire to destroy Wakanda, T’Challa’s mettle as king, and Black Panther, he is drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. T’Challa must team up with CIA agent Everett K. Ross (Martin Freeman) and members of the Dora Milaje, Wakanda’s special forces, to prevent Wakanda from being dragged into a world war.

Everett K. Ross: It’s a third world country. Textiles, shepherds, cool outfits.
Ulysses Klaue: All a front. Explorers have searched for it. Called it El Dorado. They looked for it in South America, but it was in Africa the whole time. I’m the only one whose seen it and made it out alive.
[Klaue start laughing and looks into the two-way mirror across the room]

T’Challa: I did not yield! And as you can see, I am not dead! The challenge continues!
T’Challa: Maybe we can still heal you.

Shuri: When you said you would take me to California for the first time, I thought you meant Coachella or Disneyland. Why here?
T’Challa: This is where our father killed our uncle.
T’Challa: [mid-credit lines] Wakanda will no longer watch from the shadows. We can not. We must not. We will work to be an example of how we, as brothers and sisters on this earth, should treat each other. Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth, more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another, as if we were one single tribe.

Marvel Created Another Marvelous Movie
Black Panther was a surprisingly captivating movie. Though I presumed that it would be somewhat predictable, Black Panther contained countless twists and turns throughout the storyline. It was especially entertaining to see the creativity of the creators flourish in the culture of the Black Panther’s homeland.
The most riveting factor, in my opinion, was the setting. The location of where the main characters resided in was hidden from the rest of the world. The reason for this was to keep a valuable material hidden. The plethora of this material was the foundation of the city’s futuristic technological advancements. The rest of society had only seen glimpses of its capabilities.
It was enthralling to watch individuals from the outside world try to take some for themselves. What was even more interesting, was the motive of the outsiders. One, of course, simply wanted its value and power, but another had a more personal motive. It was intriguing to watch that individual attempt to execute his manipulative plan. His greatest fault was his underestimating the Black Panther.
In my opinion, the futuristic component of movies is usually overrated and overused, but in this case the use of technology was really creative. The Black Panther’s suit had the most mind blowing features embedded in it. Also, the technology that was used for transportation was also very original.
I saw this movie at Ipic which, unlike Black Panther, I think is overrated. Unless you have a membership and regularly see movies, Ipic is too expensive. The seats at the AMC at Desert Ridge are just as comfortable and cost considerably less. The perks of being at Ipic include a small pillow, blanket, and being able to order food during the movie. The food is good, but you could get the same food for less after the movie.
Rating: 5/5
Black Panther… Film review for the few
I wanted to support diversity & champion black heroes. But this was too much action without the real Jackson!
It’s dark, stark & occasionally barks but larks around for far too long… It’s like Star Wars meets Shaft!
The inauguration of our super hero is the commencement of the encroachment of an old foe, which apparently is unknown to our Panther. The new throne is thrown into disarray as the spray of violence & non-silence descends into wakanda.
Vibranium a powerful liquid metal with immense power, we are led to believe & with consumption one can achieve anything. This is the thesis that feeds the framework of this tale & gives it a whale of a time.
There’s …
Lots of muscles & tussles.
Slick cars, bars & violence to mar.
Colour, valour & beauty parlour on parade & these are never left in the shade.
Flying cars, UFOs & hybrid rhinos are all part of the show you know.
Knives, spies, spears & tears to fulfil your fears.
Gadgets galore that nobody deplores.
The story line was slick & quick, but with me it didn’t always click …
No, it’s not because I’m thick …
But too long in the tooth to know I’ve seen this in another booth.
The special effects & gadgets make the film interesting but not unique & there lies the fatigue in watching it.
Wot kinda place are you from?
Wakanda.
That’s wot I’m asking you!
Wakanda!
I couldn’t resist that but the film won’t persist in my mind for long as soon it will fade & be gone.
The name choice made me chuckle… one of the armless villains was called
Ulysses Klaue ( sounds like useless claw ). The foe was called Erik Killmonger
( kill monger ) & that was funny too.
More style than substance as character development is only a mere supplement.
So if you like action without too much explanation, beautiful women with all the trimmings & a tepid story line, then this is the movie for you.
